soon to be a fully qualified therapist and am so excited! however to pass the course i still have to do a presentation and im petrified!! i know its a bit silly but the thought of doing a formal presentation scares me to death:cry: im finding it hard to concentrate on my other work as im worrying so much about wat i will say during it!! has anyone got any good tips to help me get through it with a bit more confidence!??
 
Put your notes on postcard sized pieces of card, tied together so they don't drop on the floor and get mixed up.

Put your notes as points. Don't write them out in full, or you will just end up reading from the card.

Practise your presentation out loud, standing up as you will probally be doing so. It isn't good enough to just say it "in your head".

Time your presentation when doing the above, so you know if you are too long or too short.

Make sure you breathe properly during your presentation! Otherwise you will start to run out of breath before the end of your sentence.

Try to slow down your speech, don't talk too fast. Don't mumble or speak too quietly.

Make sure you give eye contact with your audience.

Remember that your audience is interested in you, what you are saying and want you to do well. They are "on your side".

Give time for questions at the end or any other appropriate points.

A few pointers for you. Hope they help, and good luck :hug:
 
What course are you doing, on my CIBTAC/CIDESCO we got told we had to do a presentation but when it came down to it we just did a demo and the examiner asked us individual questions.

Don't panic imagining doing it in your head can help in the same way dreams help us cope so run it through the idea of getting up there and presenting a few times and practice reading it out loud so it feels more natural. As marioned says everyone is on your side. :hug: Also don't forget to have a bottle of water as fear can give you a very dry mouth!
 
thanks for the tips, am sure they will help me on the day and i will definitely be practising before hand to friends and family etc so will hopefully help build my confidence!! cheers guys:hug:
